Runes of Magic to expand in September

Frogster's free-to-play MMO Runes of Magic is to expand this September with an update called Chapter II - The Elven Prophecy.

As you might expect, this will introduce Elves as a playable race, along with new regions to explore - include an Elven island off the shore of Ravenfell - and "lots" of new questing concentrating on the Elves' backstory.

Runes of Magic has never been shy of comparisons with World of Warcraft, so it won't be much of a surprise to learn that its Elves dwell in pretty autumnal forests that look like WOW's Eversong Woods, and find themselves facing off against ancient racial enemies the Naga.
